SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM FEAT. CARLA KIHLSTEDT

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum is an avant-garde ensemble from California that combines art-rock, jazz, avant-metal, gothic and theater in a miraculous way. The band members, of which violinist Carla Kihlstedt (Tin Hat, 2 Foot Yard) is the best known musician, also play in bands like Charming Hostess, Idiot Flesh and inkBoat. ‘SGM is one of the few bands in a multitude of self-consciously intricate metal acts that manages to retain a distinctive sound, counterbalancing their feigned desolation, difficult time signatures, and adept metal breakdowns with a penchant for melody and arty experimentation.’ (Pitchfork).
